Paul came on time for the original estimate. He stated they could start the job within 3 days of the estimate and called ahead to let me know they could start earlier. They installed 2 new receptacles, replaced outside receptacles that had blown, repaired inside receptacles that had blown, and completely rewired the hookup for our new hot tub, turned it on for us so it would be working when we got home. They cleaned up after themselves and completed two days work in one. I am very happy with them and will definetly use them again when I need work done. Thank you SO much.
Description of Work: FC came and fixed several problems in my home, installed several outlets I wanted, and hooked up my hot tub. They completed it faster than they said and $300 under original estimate. They did a great job, were very professional, cleaned up everything...they even sent me a picture of the hot tub running and set the temperature so I could use it when I got home!! Thanks SO much Paul...you were great!

Hi and thanks for the great review. This is one of the very few customers that I have not met. We worked this out over the phone. I could tell by our conversation how much you were hoping we could get this hot tub up and running. It gave me great pleasure to send you that photo of your hot tub running while you were still at work. I can only imagine how quickly the stress of the day evaporated when you saw that on your phone. Please call us for the next job you have. Thanks Paul

Icalled at 8PM Tuesday night and Paul Terhune answered the telephone. He said they try to work us into their schedule probably late afternoon the NEXT day. He called about 12:30 PM and asked if we were available in about an hour. Brad arrived and began to check out issues. 1 breaker was replaced Other wires in box were tightened. Complete check of system including stress test of the room in question was conducted. We even located a lamp that had a short that was adding to the issues. Completely satisfied with the work and attitude of the personnel at this company. We recommend them and plan to have them do additional work in our garage
Description of Work: No electric service in 1 room of the house. Breaker seemed loose in the breaker box.

FC Electric is the best I've found, and I've used a few others. All those "A's" in every category is no fluke. The main panel replacement alone was done with the best professionalism, and the new, free smoke detector is functioning well. Consistent with worker and customer safety, they will never shirk from trying to do exactly what you need, or they will suggest another way that is usually better, 'cause let's face it, they know more than you do! Just a great company to deal with.
Description of Work: Replacement of home electrical panel, added circuits for extra needs, added outlets for ceiling fan and shower light.

We were very happy. Paul came with lots of great references, we called a few of them and they were very pleased. We were told exactly what the cost would be at the start of the project. They were here on and off for several weeks, always here on time. This was my first old home and FC Electric has all the talent to handle everything I wanted. Paul had a lot of good suggestions on how to make things even better. I would recommend FC electric to anyone.
Description of Work: Service was excellent. We have used FC Electric several times in the past 2 years. We purchased an older home with lots of issues. Paul and his crew have come out and removed all the old wiring and panels and replaced with new.

We used FC Electric and had a great experience, our neighbors told us they had used paul a few years back. They came right away because the power was out. They hooked us up to a generator to keep things going until the repair could be completed. They got a roofing and tree company in to remove the tree and patch the roof, they delt with the power company and the permit issues. Everything was up and power back on the next afternoon. It's was a bad experience to have a tree fall on the house, but FC Electric made it manageable. I would recommend FC Electric to anyone.
Description of Work: FC electric did a great job, We needed a new meter socket, pipe up thru the roof, and a new panel in the basement.

They were supposed to come the following week to do a whole house evaluation on the strength of signals throughout the house. It was estimated to be a 2 1/2 - 3 hr appointment. I didn't make any plans for the day because of that, but they didn't show up. We called and they rescheduled for the next week. Once again I waited around and they failed to show up, so we fired them. They apologized and didn't charge us for the work they did do. That was a nice gesture but, in the meantime, we waited weeks to find out if our house was safe or not, so we weren't happy with their service.
Description of Work: We had lightning strike our house and FC Electric came out to evaluate the visual electrical damage, tested outlets and they replaced outlets.

My name is Paul Terhune, I am the owner of FC Electric. This job was $159.00, when I discovered the homeowner was unhappy, I offered him a lower bill, he declined. My electrician Brad, who you can see from some other reviews, is awesome. We were at this client's home for 1 Hr 20 Min. I can see on GPS tracking when everyone arrives and departs. We provided the needed materials that Brad went and got that morning prior to arrival at his home. We are well insured professional electricians, with all the knowledge and equipment needed to complete any job. This customers only complaint was the size of the bill $ 159.00, I even offered to lower it to whatever he felt was fare. We provided the material, tools, insurance, knowledge, gas, labor, for $ 159.00. We have had very few unhappy customers in 10 years of business. I would have done anything the customer wanted to keep him happy, I was unable. Everyone here at FC Electric is on the A Team. Here in Lafayette, WE SET THE STANDARD.

It took about a few days of phone-tag before Paul (the owner) was able to make it to our house to give us an estimate for the job, but he was very good about returning all calls promptly and was always courteous and professional. He fit us into their schedule only five days after making the estimate (and it would have been sooner if our own schedule hadn't been so hectic). The electrician he sent over to do the job (Ken) was excellent. He arrived on time, listened and communicated effectively, and worked efficiently. Replacing one of the old ceiling fans with a new light fixture involved some unexpected re-wiring work that required him to go up into the attic. This is not an easy thing to do in our house since the attic access point is located in the ceiling of a small bedroom closet. He handled everything just fine. He also did a very good job of installing the new bathroom exhast fan/light even though the housing for the new unit didn't match the size of the old one. Very professional work.
Description of Work: Replaced three old ceiling fans with new light fixtures. Installed a new bathroom exhaust fan/light. Also installed two new light fixtures.
